Salad always sounds good in the warm weather, doesn’t it?

But when you have food allergies, sometimes finding a delicious salad dressing is a challenge! Whether it’s your favorite store-bought dressing that’s no longer safe, or a dairy-based dressing that won’t work anymore, it can be tough to find something delicious to top your salad greens.

If you’re feeling a little tired of your normal salad dressing options, you’ll want to give this dairy free creamy cilantro dressing a try. It’s so easy to make with just a few ingredients in the blender, and it adds a lot of flavor to any salad.

Just because you can’t have dairy or nuts doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a delicious creamy salad dressing. This dairy free ranch dressing has always been a favorite at our house, but when you want a change, this creamy cilantro dressing is just the thing. It works really well as a dressing, or as a dip, and you can even use it as a taco topping.

Dairy Substitutes

You can use your favorite non-dairy milk and dairy free cream cheese in this dressing. I used the Daiya brand plain cream cheese. If you don’t need to be dairy free, you can go ahead and use dairy milk and cream cheese.

Substitutions

  • If you aren’t dairy free, you can use regular cream cheese and milk.
  • If you can’t have garlic, you can leave it out. Feel free to add some sweet onion instead.
  • Not a cilantro fan? No problem – substitute your favorite herbs. Try chives, dill, or parsley.

Storage

Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about 3 days.

    This one sounds amazing. I am going to try this tonight. How long do you think I can store this for in the fridge? This is a great recipe! Thanks for creating this recipe for me, I have recently developed problems with dairy products (a little milk in my coffee each morning is all I can handle) so am looking for dairy free recipes. I will surely try it out. I can already imagine it on my breakfast toast or on some bean salad… yummy!

      I think you could store it in the fridge for 3-4 days. I hope you like it!

    This looks really yummy! Looking at the photos is making me hungry! I’m wondering if there might be a substitution for the vegan cream cheese. That’s a bit difficult to find where I live, and it’s quite expensive. Is there something else that could be substituted with similar results?
